With the increasing use of joint replacement surgery, the prevalence of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) has also increased. However, treating PJI has become a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons because of the prevalence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and the formation of protective biofilms. Numerous studies have shown that garlic extract (GE) has antibacterial activities and might be a good candidate for PJI treatment. This review explores the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of GE and its potential to be used in the treatment of PJI.
随着关节置换手术的日益普及,人工关节周围感染(PJI)的患病率也有所增加。然而,由于多药耐药(MDR)细菌的流行和保护性生物膜的形成,治疗 PJI 已成为骨科医生面临的挑战。许多研究表明,大蒜提取物(GE)具有抗菌活性,可能是治疗 PJI 的一个很好的候选药物。本综述探讨了 GE 的抗菌和抗生物膜活性及其在治疗 PJI 中的潜在应用。
